Today United State Senate candidate from Missouri Sarah Steelman is proud to announce that she has earned the endorsement of former Governor and Vice Presidential Nominee, Sarah Palin. Steelman, whose willingness to fight the establishment has often drawn comparison to Governor Palin, believes this endorsement from such a strong conservative leader is evidence of her conviction to reform Washington D.C. and take back our country.

"I am deeply honored and humbled to have earned the endorsement of Governor Palin, whose willingness to stand up and fight for what is right, regardless of the political consequences, has blazed a trail for conservatives who believe as we do, that the status quo has got to go. I am ready to join Governor Palin and lead the fight in the Senate to restore fiscal discipline and speak truth to power by putting this country back into the hands of the people!" said Steelman.

Sarah Steelman requested Governor Palin's support at the onset of her campaign for US Senate. Today Governor Palin released the following statement in support of Sarah Steelman's campaign:

As we seek to fundamentally restore our great nation to strength and prosperity, we must send more commonsense conservatives to the U.S. Senate. We need sincere public servants who will fight for us, not the special interests and the permanent political class in Washington. Sarah Steelman will fight for all of Missouri and all of us, and that is why we must send her to D.C. this fall.

Sarah has run a grassroots campaign the way it should be run - handshake by handshake, voter by voter, farm to farm, not TV ad after TV ad...

Palin didn’t do her homework on this one. Steelman puts her personal agenda so far ahead of anything else that I don’t think she will do the hard work needed in Washington. That narcissistic streak is a perfect fit for a hard left turn one of these days, and soon.

I attended a Farm Bureau meet the candidate gathering last night. Todd Akin was the only Senate candidate and he sure sounded conservative to me. Aug. 7 is the primary and then we will know. Also got polled today on phone with question, “Who would you support, Claire Mccaskill or Republican opponent?” Wondered what that meant.

I live in Missouri. We have three candidates running for the GOP nomination: Steelman, Todd Akin, and John Brunner. I’d vote for any of them over ObamaClaire McCaskill, of course. But I have not yet made up my mind as to which one I will vote for in the primary. Palin’s endorsement has no bearing on my decision one way or the other. The three candidates have had a couple of debates thus far, which I did not see. As we get closer to August 7, I will watch the video of those debates, look into it more, etc., and then decide. My default preference would be Akin, since he’s my congressman, but if one of the other two looks substantially better, I could be persuaded.

IMO you are getting some bad info here. Steelman has long been in the arena fighting for RKBA. She is despised by establishment Republicans in MO. She gets high marks for her work as Treasurer of MO. She gets my vote.

That's not to say anything bad about Akin. I would have no problem voting for him should he take the Primary.

The money problem in this State is the fact that our Governor, Jay Nixon (Dem) is raising ton$! Ma McCaskill is doing good as well in the fund raising dept. Will be a tough fight all the way up/down the ticket. Nothing is in the bag yet.

What is Romney doing or what has he done for any candidate other than where it benefits HIMSELF? These past four years which includes 2010 she has helped MANY conservatives while Romney was trashing her 24/7 and using his pawns to do it and that includes her family he attacked! And then NO ONE HELPED HER!!

If you say McCain - I already know you are clueless when it comes to loyalty!!

So I’ll consider your post null and void because if I turn my back I couldn’t rely on you to watch it! bye!

I know nothing of steelman but that pix said something to me perhaps it is what you describe as that narcissistic streak. If there is a better candidate that you feel more sure of, I say go for it! We are all in this together!

I do not know that there is a better candidate than Sarah Steelman. Not aware of "narcissism" on her part.

1). Steelman strongly supports Right to Work legislation. At both Missouri level and National level. As a result, union bosses HATE her! See firedupmissouri.com for confirmation. Not a day goes by without unions pounding on her.

My comments were strictly about Sarah Steelman's not being the conservative in this race. My comments regarding Palin's support of Hatch are also about his not being the conservative in that race. I understand completely why she endorsed McCain but I still didn't have to like it as I truly though we had a good opportunity to take AZ in the general and be rid of McCain once and for all - but with her standing up for him, that was not to be.

As to Mitt, I have been one of his biggest non-supporters, so don't use him as a club to beat me with to support Sarah, as it's completely out of order. Search my tag line to see my negative comments re All things Mitt & LDS, friend.

I don’t live in Missouri and never heard of steelman - but your description show some can’t let an opportunity go by w/o saying Sarah is wrong about something. And they keep count! Truly what little minds and pathetic lives they must have.

OMG!! You are still at it?!! OBSESSED!! No discipline to give it up. And feel this utter need to tell how others are wrong - it shows how much YOU LACK and you showed loyalty is one! You are bitter because I don’t want to listen to your rant. GROW UP!

You, obviously, can't keep up - I wasn't claiming to be right and I said I don't live in Missouri and never heard of Steelman. How did you, conveniently, not take that into your little 'opinion' on the matter?

We need to elect the most good,conservative, people possible.

WOW, another rocket scientist heard from! But you forgot your own words Opinions differ. Get over it.

Another one with a 'do as I say and not as I do' mindset!

Talk about childish rant that amounts to nothing!! All this because Palin endorse someone - after all she was wrong 'x' amount of times/let me count the ways. LOL!!!! Palin who? LOL!!!!

A spat or a few sharp words between husbands and wives occur and are usually senseless to any witness. Being based in on going differences. It seem foolish to take issue with another, especially on a thread, via boring put downs. Me or anyone else. Let it be.

We do not see our selves clearly. Have a good day.

Ma McCaskill has raised almost $10 million. More than all three Republican Senate candidates combined! Hollyweird. Unions.DNC. Every hare-brained socialist in the country. A last ditch effort to save Ma’s seat. Methinks they will fall short...
